With most of the boarding teams aboard the Astraeus neutralized by Starfleet security and search-and-rescue personnel, those who could escape beamed away - though not before setting a complicated Ultritium bomb on the Astraeus' warp core. As they retrieved their boarding parties, Jilor's vessels decloaked, transmitted the prefix codes to lower the Veritas' shields, and began their attack. | |||
Pounded hard with her shields down, the Veritas crew had to rely on their skills and the ship's ablative armor in order to survive until they could discover that it was indeed the codes that had caused the shield collapse, reset the codes, and raise them again. Jilor's forces had been counting on being able to destroy the Veritas before that happened for success, but when it didn't - largely in part due to a high-risk warp jump based on the Picard maneuver, and devised by Lieutenant Commander [[Evan Delano]], allowed the Astraeus and Veritas to focus their fire on Jilor's flagship, disabling it. | |||
On board the Astraeus, Lael Rosek's engineering teams and Kelrod's SAR personnel found that they couldn't completely disable the Ultritium explosives on the warp core, but they were able to find a way to contain and lessen its explosion to a simple concussive blast that caused little in the way of equipment damage or personnel injuries. With the battle won, the Astraeus' science and engineering departments worked to find a solution to the problem of the Astraeus being stuck in the Shoals and unable to form a warp field. | |||
This was eventually solved through a combination of ingenious plans devised by Commander [[Luna Walker]] and her engineering crews, along with the Veritas' science departments. The Astraeus separated her saucer, and both the Astraeus stardrive section and the Veritas used their deflector dishes to form a subspace bubble around the saucer, reducing its mass to a manageable level. Then, using synchronized warp fields, the two ships towed the saucer out of the Shoals. | |||
Damaged and hosting exhausted crews, both starships then made for [[Esperance Star Station]] for rest, relaxation, and extensive repairs. | |||
